Pfarrkirche Verklärung Christi, Parish church in Schongau, Germany.

Pfarrkirche Verklärung Christi is a brick-and-concrete church on a broken hexagonal plan, its interior tapering toward a raised chancel with pews set in a semicircle around the altar. The pale stone exterior has a tall windowless block under a shallow gable roof, a lower white wing, and a slender tapering spire bearing a round starburst emblem. A sacristy to the south links the church to the pyramidal campanile, which is crowned by open hands.

The church was built between 1966 and 1968 following architect Friedrich Haindl's design to accommodate population growth in Schongau after 1945. This modern structure emerged when many communities were expanding their religious buildings for newly arrived residents.

The wooden panel above the altar, carved by Josef Lang, shows the Transfiguration of Christ. Franz Nagel's altarpiece beside it lists nine rescues from the Bible: Isaac from sacrifice, Job from his sufferings, Moses from Pharaoh, David from Goliath, Noah from the flood, Peter and Paul from prison, the three youths from the furnace, Daniel from the lions' den and Lot from Sodom's flames.

The church stands at Schönlinder Straße 41 in Schongau, its entrance reached past the low white wing on the left of the main block. The tall stone campanile, crowned by open hands, rises to the right and serves as a landmark from the street. Visitors enter for services; the semicircular pews face the raised chancel.

The organ was built in 1972 by the Max Offner workshop in Augsburg and features 22 registers across two manuals and pedals. This instrument contributes significantly to the sound quality of services and musical events.
